Long time no blog! Sorry, life gets a little busy around here at times. :) So, adoption news...
We are currently viewing the files of two precious little darlings from the waiting child photo listing. Yes, I know, we said we wouldn't do the committee thing again...that was before we saw these sweet little faces staring back at us. On October 3rd we received the file of a sweet little girl with significant special needs. We met with a specialist and we sent a list of questions and requests to our agency. This information could take a while to get back to us and in the meantime we have been praying about how this decision will affect our family. Yesterday, October 11th (my daughter's birthday) another little beauty popped up on the photo listing. After reading a little about her I was quite shocked to see her on there. Her needs seemed fairly minor (compared to most on the photo listing). A few hours after seeing her I requested her file and received it VERY quickly. I was also informed shortly after that there are two other families viewing her file as well. I immediately felt a pit in my stomach...can we really do this again???
Yes, we can. These children need families and how awesome to see that they are wanted by so many! So, we will seek a medical professional once again and decide whether or not to proceed with baby girl #2. I am also praying that the information for baby girl #1 will come in soon so we can make a decision about her as well. This will be a tough few weeks, but in the end, Lord willing, 2 little girls will have their forever family.
Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we continue this journey with open hearts and open minds, allowing the Lord to guide us every step of the way.
